The Warlock tier set is the raid armor WoW Forever adds for the class, a new design rather than a returning Classic set. Affliction, Demonology and Destruction all draw from the same set, so every Warlock chases the same pieces.
The colors come first, then the bonuses. After that come the routes to the pieces — and there is more than one.

Warlocks get one tier set for all three specs, Demonheart Raiment, and every piece of it, crafted ones included, shares the same look; the set hands out its bonuses at two, three, four and five equipped pieces. Five is the cap.
Every slot of the set has a raid version, and four of them (shoulders, gloves, legs and boots) also have a version a tailor can make. Both count toward the same bonuses. The catch is a limit on how many crafted pieces a Warlock can wear at once.
Blizzard names Hyjal Summit, a 20-player raid, and the Barrow Deeps, a 10-player one, as the home of the new tier sets, and both open on December 9, 2026. The raid pieces are item level 65 cloth, Warlock-only and Bind on Pickup (BoP), and they need level 60.
| Slot | Demonheart Raiment piece | Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Demonheart Skullcap | 81 |
| Shoulder | Demonheart Spaulders | 75 |
| Chest | Demonheart Robes | 100 |
| Hands | Demonheart Gloves | 63 |
| Legs | Demonheart Leggings | 88 |
| Feet | Demonheart Boots | 69 |
These tooltips show item level and armor but no stats: Forever hides an item's stats until it drops for someone on your realm. Its raids also open without a dungeon journal, so the boss behind each slot is found inside the raid itself.
The crafted versions are item level 61 instead of 65 and Bind on Equip (BoE), so a Warlock without the profession can get one from a tailor.
| Slot | Demonheart Raiment piece | Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder | Demonheart Spaulders | 71 |
| Hands | Demonheart Gloves | 59 |
| Legs | Demonheart Leggings | 83 |
| Feet | Demonheart Boots | 65 |
Every craft runs on Malleable Essence of Nature, which comes from disenchanting items from Hyjal Summit or the Barrow Deeps.
The crafts also need a Loom, a Tailoring 300 camp object placed next to a campfire, which gives the camp the benefits of a Faction Banner as well. A tailor learns to place it from Blueprint: Loom, one of the Blueprints that drop from dungeon bosses, and our WoW Forever professions guide covers how camps work.
Every crafted piece is Unique-Equipped: Artisan's Tier (1), so only one of them can be worn at a time, whatever its slot. The limit rises to two with the Rousing Seed Pod, a 10-gold item that needs level 60 and Revered with the Guardians of Hyjal.
That limit shapes the whole set. Before the Seed Pod, a 5-piece bonus takes at least four raid pieces plus one crafted piece; after it, three raid pieces and two crafted ones are enough, and the two crafted pieces alone already give the 2-piece bonus. Either way, the skullcap and the robes come from the raid, because neither slot has a crafted version.
For what it's worth, the cheapest crafted piece to start with is any slot but the legs.
The first gloves, shoulders or boots cost 9 Essence in all (6 for the pattern, 3 for the craft), while the first leggings cost 13. After that the pattern is learned, and each further craft costs only the 3 or 5 Essence the recipe asks for.
Both vendors stand in Mount Hyjal, below the Summit of Eternity. Aisarra Nightmeadow (71, 51.2) sells all four Warlock patterns for Malleable Essence of Nature, and Rhylin Stonethorn (70.6, 51.2), a few steps away, sells the Rousing Seed Pod. The patterns need Tailoring 300 and bind to the tailor who buys them. No reputation needed, unlike the Seed Pod.
| Pattern | Essence cost |
|---|---|
| Pattern: Demonheart Spaulders | 6 |
| Pattern: Demonheart Gloves | 6 |
| Pattern: Demonheart Leggings | 8 |
| Pattern: Demonheart Boots | 6 |
In the Affliction tree, the Improved Life Tap talent raises the Mana that Life Tap awards, the same spell the 5-piece works on. Our talents guide walks through Improved Life Tap and the rest of the Affliction, Demonology and Destruction trees.
